All That Time Allows

Eyes hurt from all night crying,
Once again I’ve been such a fool,
I realise that our love is dying,
How can someone so beautiful be so very cruel?

You’ve started to avoid my embraces
Turn your head when I try to kiss your lips,
The thought that it’s ending nothing erases,
I feel it right down to my fingertips.

Not long ago our times together were exciting,
You clung to me and said your love was true,
You were the one that did all the inviting
And I just couldn’t get enough of you.

I thought I’d found a partner for a lifetime,
How could something so good go so wrong?
I didn’t hear a warning or hear a death-bell chime,
But I know I’m the only one singing love’s song.

Eyes hurt from all night crying,
Once again I’ve been such a fool,
I realise that our love is dying,
How can someone so beautiful be so very cruel.

You’ve made it very clear by your rejection
That I’m no longer what you want or need;
No longer do we make a sweet connection,
If it would help I’d get on my knees and plead.

I’ve loved you so very much right from the start,
And I’ve felt the loving that you gave to me,
So is there still a chance to avoid a broken heart?
Oh please say that still our love can be.

I’ve dreamt of the day we’d make our wedding vows,
And I prayed that I did not hope in vain,
But for now I will take all that time allows,
And push away all thoughts of loss and pain.

Eyes hurt from all night crying,
Once again I’ve been such a fool,
I realise that our love is dying,
How can someone so beautiful be so very cruel?
